[LM_NET] Dust in the library

[Judy Brown <jbrown@CALDWELL.K12.OH.US>]

In our K-8 library, we get permission from parents of children who  
have lost books to "work it off" instead of paying for the book.  We  
use the minimum wage/hour as a reasonable rate. For example:  If a  
child lost a $15 book, we would expect about 2 hrs. of work to pay for  
it.  Students come in during their recess or studyhall times.  The  
jobs include cleaning tables and chairs,dusting and straightening up  
shelves, helping with younger kids check ins and check outs, reading  
to small groups, and odd jobs.  It has been quite successful -  
especially in our area where there is little extra cash for incidentals.
